RQS is a scum tell. It's an irrelevant question that's just there to make you look busy.In post 31, LicketyQuickety wrote:What is everyone's experience playing Mafia?

Had a newbie game where someone said "tbh" over thirty times and turned out to be scum. They still won even after it was pointed out as a scum tell too.In post 34, Egix96 wrote:

It's nothing major, but it's simply that scum sometimes have a tendency to overuse words that they think will "sound" more towny.In post 33, MargotRosa wrote:

If you're asking about the RQS scum tell sample size, you've been on this site long enough to know that one.
If it's the "tbh" tell I'm not sure how you expect me to source that unless you want me to comb through every newbie game and CTRL+F scum ISO's for "tbh" and "honestly". Which uh, I'm not gonna do. But I'm clearly not the only one who's heard of that tell anyway.- Roden

And personality appreciate the RQS stuff. Light atmosphere to start the game, which I imagine will get quite testy
I wouldn't hard accuse anyone for it, the tbh tell was me commenting on Egix bringing it up and backing it up with my own belief in it. It's nothing I'd bother trying to use on Day 1 though, I think it's reasonable that people use it naturally in their speech patterns. It's just when you have people using it sparingly or never in their confirmed town games and then blatantly overusing it in games they're suspicious in, then I think it has merit.In post 52, Clasko wrote:

I'm not necessarily against considering the frequency someone uses a certain word to determine whether they're scum when analysing them as town v. scum, but it wouldn't be the end-all-be-all for me IMO, and it sort of lends itself towards 'meta' and IDK if I'm prepared to go there yet.
My opinion on RQS doesn't seem popular, but I've been burned a few times by people who try to look helpful/busy by engaging in RQS but then turn out to be scum. It's easy town cred for too little effort IMO.- Roden

Even if your crackpot theory DOES work, why force claim tracker to claim d1 f1. While I still hate the idea of a PR claiming d1, im more on the side of the tracker claiming late d1, after we've had good discusscion. If your answer is "tracker might get pushed", who cares? By that time, we will hopefully have 2-3 susses and we can just pivot to the 2nd one
This is a fair point actually.HockeyFan wrote: I mean, prolonging RQS and to keep talking about it beyond your first few posts is sus sure.

Sorry, I think I'm just not being clear about this. The tbh tell really only applies way later in the game and if the person is basically spamming it when normally they wouldn't. Think of it as a written tic, the overstated word could be anything but "tbh" is one of the more common ones. If you already use it naturally in your speech patterns then it doesn't mean anything at all, so it wouldn't apply to you.In post 81, MargotRosa wrote:
Yeah look, if this is just a site meta thing that I don't know about, I'm happy to drop it.

I've seen games where it is a notable difference in someone's style, but I suspect in newbie games it will generally be harder to apply.
I think its more valuable to see whether that statement where they said "tbh" comes from a scum motive then to scumhunt via a tell that probably doesnt even work
Also, I am in the camp that there is no need for a tracker to claim on page 3, or even Day 1 for that matter unless they get close to elimination. Still, this is the sort of gambit that I've discovered is well within T3's wheelhouse so I don't see it as particularly indicative.
I'm hiding info from scum actually.In post 82, HockeyFan wrote:

Does this mean you agree that tracker should claim d1?In post 80, LicketyQuickety wrote:I trust the site meta on the Tracker claim stuff.
Thoughts on the game so far is that it's going pretty slow and we don't have a town leader pushing the game forward. T3's probably giving us the most content to work with.- Roden

It's not a site meta thing, no. I don't think power roles should out themselves today, but I don't want scum to know what T3 is going for if he's town.In post 85, MargotRosa wrote:

I have a few sus reads, and I'm still not convinced that T3 isn't behaving in a scummy way. Outing TR d1 is a weird hill to die on
Also for anyone who hasn't played with T3 before: he almost always fucks around with role claims, no matter his alignment. I just had a newbie game where I was scum and he was town and he fake claimed Mason.- Roden

If I'm a PR then I get NK'd tonight. Bad town play.
If I'm VT then I'm drawing the NK. Good town play.

UNVOTE:
The wagon on LQ built up a little too fast. I think it's weird that he's focused on me saying "honestly" once, and he's clearly panicking and scrambling to avoid getting elim'd. But this is feeling more like a townie flail than a scum flail. Like, less like his back is against the wall and more like he got ganged up on and he doesn't think it's fair. Plus, there's basically been zero resistance to this wagon. If LQ is scum, then his scum buddy would have to be bussing him extremely early into the game.
If we can't find a better choice by EoD then I'll most likely put my vote back on him. But we've still got seven IRL days left until Day 1 ends, and I don't think voting someone out early is a good idea. We should get more info from more people so we can look for associatives when we get a flip.- Roden

I'm finding it hard to believe Clasko slipped like that.

I'd probably still vote LQ first. The flail looked townie, but Margot hasn't really done anything to earn scum points from me. Unless she does some real scummy shit before EoD, I'm putting my vote back on LQ.In post 215, Clasko wrote:In post 167, Roden wrote:The wagon on LQ built up a little too fast.

I'm not sure how you reached this interpretation. I can understand why town might be suspicious of me from holding information, but trying to continue to push when I'm making it clear doing so is anti-town is just not a good look. Continuously drawing attention to it is not a good look. Trying to shade me into spilling the beans is especially not a good look.In post 252, StrangeMatter wrote:Well, hiding information like that can be useful to not give information that may benefit scum, but sometimes it’s absolutely necessary to explain otherwise you leave everyone that’s Town with less information. Now about Roden not giving information to scum, was just not needed since Roden was obviously already doing that. Idk that to me can seem like they’re trying to get towncred as scum. I can’t really think of that being something Town says unless for some reason they care about correcting or self conscious about how town thinks about them.
Hockey claimed Tracker and isn't getting counterclaimed, so I can only assume they're conftown and because of that I won't scum read them. But anyone else who tries to push this when I keep warning against it is gonna get priority of my vote going forward. Trying to get info out of me or T3 about his plan is just a scum move now.- Roden

I can understand it. I also understand the annoyance with me and T3, but I think all that matters wrt that is that the Tracker looks for scum, and if we have a Doc then they need to protect him.In post 267, Clasko wrote: P-edit: @Roden Ah... yeah, I don't SR them, but see if you agree with my reasoning for the vote, anyway.- Roden

Did you read why I gave him town points? My point was that scum wouldn't be that careless to genuinely slip like that. You said earlier that you play like scum are competent so I'm not sure why it pings you that I'm doing the same.In post 281, HockeyFan wrote:

To me there’s also the fact that from what I parsed as pushing pressure off their teammate as well.
This is just meta, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think it should be pointed out.- Roden

Then why is T3 also saying that? Your push on here is fake since you'd rather vote me out over T3 when T3 is literally the one who started this.

They might be semi-okay to get the game started, but they are really bad once we have 10+ pages. And you didn't stick to those tells. You unvoted me and never voted Margot for the honesty tell. It just seems like you don't actually believe it.In post 387, Roden wrote:

It's nothing I'd bother trying to use on Day 1 though, I think it's reasonable that people use it naturally in their speech patterns. It's just when you have people using it sparingly or never in their confirmed town games and then blatantly overusing it in games they're suspicious in, then I think it has merit.
My opinion on RQS doesn't seem popular, but I've been burned a few times by people who try to look helpful/busy by engaging in RQS but then turn out to be scum. It's easy town cred for too little effort IMO.
T3 how sure are you that Roden is Town here? I expect a straight up answer here.
Why would I vote Margot when she gave a legitimate reason? If it's a speech quirk and she didn't even say it much I have no reason to turbo elim her over that. It just sounds like you're projecting at this point because you keep saying my posts feel fake, but this legitimately cannot be a real thought process because it makes no logical sense.- Roden

Not particularly, no. Besides you and LQ, everyone is coming off really townie, if not a little milquetoast. Hockey gave off scum vibes but no one CC'd their Tracker claim, so they're essentially confirmed town.In post 411, StrangeMatter wrote:

It's because they're putting in the effort to poke and pressure people. There hasn't been any narrative twisting or notable shade attempts. This is important because the game state is basically going nowhere and scum 100% would be fine with that, attempting to stir the pot would just go against scum's agenda. The only thing that feels off is that they're voting for each other even though they're both giving off town vibes.In post 415, StrangeMatter wrote:Also, T3 feels like a wildcard to me, like he can flip either way right now, and any attempt to have a read on him just hadn't work out. He also hadn't been really scumhunting but just looks for town. Not saying that's a bad thing since POE absolutely can be useful, but at the end of this POE he just doesn't do any hunting to try to find scum in that group.
And Roden, can you please tell me what you see about those two that say they are town?
Though speaking of which, EoD is coming closer and we need to come together on an elim choice. I currently want either you or LQ gone, but if you've got a case on Alstro or Egix I'd be open to hearing it. Margot is also a person of interest since she keeps attracting a lot of suspicion from people. Everyone else (T3, Clasko, Hockey) are town reads for me and are off the table.- Roden

I mean I did say LQ vs Margot looked like TvS. What makes you think Margot is scummier? LQ has made really weird pushes all day while Margot just feels more subdued. Like, I can remember LQ's general attitude and perspective without having to ISO dive him, but I can't say the same for Margot.In post 466, Egix96 wrote:

This is a group who have all been pushing on each other to some extent. Here I've ordered them by how towny I think they are.
Heuristically, it's probable that there is at least one scum among them. (Otherwise, what the heck has even been going on)
Considering that I don't particularly think that Alstro is more or less likely to flip scum than Margot is, I think it's better to yeet within the triangle than outside it.- Roden

This was so uncomfortable to read. Also very unnecessary since it did nothing to change my mind and overall added nothing to the game. LQ isn't scummy because of whatever personal reason Ythan has against him; LQ is scummy because his ISO is full of flip-flopping and opportunistic pushes with flimsy reasoning.

I actually don't particularly disagree with an Alstro vote. I think the final scum has to be someone who wasn't particularly active. The reason being that last night's failed NK only comes from someone who wasn't paying attention to the conversations everyone had, because targeting the Tracker should've been the obvious wrong answer.

Ah. Yeah my town reads EoD were T3/Clasko/Tracker slot. I had Egix and Alstro as town leans but they're not glued in place, I just didn't have any intention to vote them over you/LQ/Margot on Day 1.In post 631, StrangeMatter wrote:

The only circumstances where scum targets Tracker N1 are when scum don't realize we have a Doctor. And the only way scum doesn't realize that is if they weren't paying attention. This is why Strange is out of my PoE today despite me scum reading them yesterday.In post 640, alstroemerial wrote:
Scum could also be willing to gamble on a 50-50 shot that we're in a setup with an FN given that they're in a tight spot. I am curious about Clasko though given that he was prodded and we haven't heard from him since, but since he hasn't been replaced he must have picked up the prod during the night. Either way, there are some circumstances where a player could find that targeting the tracker is the right answer. /shrugIn post 632, Roden wrote:I actually don't particularly disagree with an Alstro vote.

I heavily doubt Margot is the second scum. Between the two of them, LQ would've been the PR so I don't see why they 1v1 each other here. Scum desperately needed its Rolecop, so it makes no sense to bus him.In post 679, GrandpaMo wrote:

I don't think prolonging the day has gotten us anywhere. We need to come together on a vote before EoD in case the person we run up ends up claiming something other than VT.
Alstro, if you're town and you genuinely believe T3 is scum, you need to come up with a better case than "What if your assumption is wrong?" because even if we are wrong, scum!T3 doesn't ever win at end game anyway. So what exactly makes you think he's scum besides being secretive about his plan? And who else do you think is the second scum if you're wrong about T3?- Roden

The way for scum to save this, I think, is to find the doctor to kill both the PRs ASAP. If Mo is actually doctor, well, I don't think it made sense to claim at all, but Mo's meta adds enough WIFOM that I'm dubious.
tl;dr: if Mo is fakeclaiming doc I don't think that's enough for doc to CC because he has done this as town and would just draw out the actual doc for a nk
stop talking bout my claim and move on.
if im not doc, real doc can evaulate im actually fakeclaiming either as town or scum.
its nai and no point of talking bout it. if scum believe im doc, they just kill me assuming no STUPID cc will come out the way.
just dont focus on it and give scum more info. just please. move on.

Alright, I'm sleep-deprived so maybe saying too much, but here's another hint-eroo regarding my earlier posts.

I have said multiple times that my main PoE pool is T3 and Egix. Thus I would most like to move to Egix if not T3. However, again as I have said before, T3 and LQ's interactions on Day 1 can come off as SvS and distancing, especially with the hammer once it was a foregone conclusion that LQ was going to get eliminated.
I can see what you mean about T3, but he also could've tied it up and convinced you or panicked someone on Margot's wagon to vote his way to avoid a no-elim. If he's scum then he has me pocketed as well, so he should've felt pretty safe saving LQ. I just think it would've been really easy to mis-elim Margot if he's scum.
Plus I don't think scum says this publicly to their scum buddy and then go for the play they just said was bad.In post 48, T3 wrote:

Shit, sorry Alstro, that was my worst case scenario. I genuinely thought T3 was Doc. I still don't think he's scum since he could've easily saved LQ but this complicates things now.
The reason I thought T3 was Doc was that he seemed to know what column we were in and felt confident we had a Tracker. When night came and no kill happened, he was basically conftown at that point. I've seen Doctors do this strat before, and since he tends to draw suspicion I thought he was using that to his advantage to bait scum into keeping him alive longer.
Egix is part of my PoE too so I don't have a problem moving my vote over to him.

Didn't want to say anything yesterday, but if you're town, scum would've already known that you weren't Doc since we know your slot wasn't online at all during Night 1.
